IT'S A WORKING HOLIDAY!

     Today is the first holiday for the 1st semester of SY 2011-2012. At last I will have a whole day rest after working six days a week for the last two weeks. Yes,  I, together with the College Secretary Madam Simbillo and some BA staff have been working overtime including Saturdays (last June 11 and June 18) up to 9:00 PM just to fix some problems in conflicting schedules of students, dissolved classes, faculty load, room assignments, etc. I deserved this day when I don't have to wake up early to meet my 7:30AM class. :-)
     But here in front of my computer, my mind is still focused on preparing my lesson for my class in Financial Accounting tomorrow at 7:30AM. As an added bonus, my daughter served me a cup of coffee and Gardenia  toasted bread (promotion alert :-) ) with butter which she prepared herself. Really this is the best coffee I ever tasted! Being served by your children in some of your needs does wonders in a mom's world.
     Thanks to Janine for  your comment in my blog yesterday. Being remembered by my student whom I met few or several years ago, brings much joy to my heart. Staying put in the academe (21 years) may not be a wise decision to some people who put much premium on money, but I honestly say that it is in sharing my time and knowledge with my students where I find happiness and fulfillment.
     Yes, today  is a holiday because there are no classes, but for me it is my time to prepare good products/services  ready for delivery to my students when classes resume on June 21, 2011. I draw inspiration from the words of  our Dean Rogelio V. Paglomutan, "Work is Prayer".
     Happy holiday to all!
